• Jimmy Kimmelwas just [4/2] in Rosslyn at 1100 Wilson Boulevard. I assume he’s there to visit the ABC affiliate.
•My friend and I were leaving the E Street Cinema Saturday [4/3] evening when we saw a crowd of "important-looking" people being escorted in. I realized that it wasRobin Shouand his entourage. I had just seen the preview for his new movie "Red Trousers" and recognized him--he must have been there for a screening. (He is known for starring in Mortal Kombat.) [ Famous for Washington. Fine. - Ed. ]
•Yesterday [4/5] around 7: 15pm, I saw a forlorn lookingJoe Lockhartsitting in the window of Cafe Sofia on Columbia Rd. in Adams Morgan, staring expecantly out at the sidewalk. He was wearing a blazer and a hangdog expression, and, I'm not making this up, actually slowly stirring a drink with a cocktail straw, looking equal parts bored and lonely. Insert joke about Clinton White House here.
•Spotted [4/6]Andrew Sullivanlingering outside of The Duplex diner on 18 and U. Had a bicycle. My life is just so exciting!
•20 minutes ago [4/7]: Mark Shieldseating lunch alone at the Au Bon Pain on 13th and G. He seems to walk with difficulty, which is weird because I often see his fellow Gang-sterAl Huntaround, and he too seems to walk with difficulty.
